7 Perspectives of Psychology:
1. Biological: seek to understand, interaction between anatomy and behavior
2. Behavioral: determined by your environment and experience, not by genetics; Watson, Skinner, Pavlov
3. Cognitive: thinking; Jean Piaget
4. Evolutionary: how adaptive behavior is to our survival; natural selection... Charles Darwin
5. Humanistic: freewill, love... Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers; how do you fit in, acceptance
6. Sociocultural: much of behavior and your feelings are dictated by the culture you live in; must be taken into account when trying to understand, predict, or control behavior
7. Psychoanalytical/Psychodynamic: interaction between the conscious and unconscious (mental process that we do not normally have access to but are influenced by); shapes behavior; importance of childhood experiences to develop personality... Sigmund Freud
